5th might be a reach this year, I think the AAC will be 5th.  However you are right it was considered lower than the MAC when it sponsored D1 FB.  They got strong on the old Big East FB model of grabbing big boy leftovers and taking chances on transfers and kids with issues in the past.  They have some really good fan bases which helped: App St, James Madison, Georgia Southern and Marshall all can draw consistent crowds above 22K.  App St is probably the top drawing team. Southern Miss is my choice for a dark horse.  Coastal Carolina also has huge potential.   They are going to give you free all you can eat and drink concessions this year with a paid admission.  We'll see how that works

Edit add: ODU is another team with big potential. In a med/large metro with no major league teams and lots of HS talent

The SunBelt was fun to watch but they have some dreck in the league too.  I think it'll be fascinating to see the G5/6/7 (whatever they call it) figured out who emerges as the top FB in the next 5 years.  I'm putting my money on the PAC12.
